On May 19, state policymakers, staff, stakeholders and educators gathered at a forum in Sacramento where presenters, including teachers, showcased the elements of innovative, multiple-measure teacher evaluation systems being designed and implemented in California. Attendees gained insight into how these systems work; how they are being used to provide critical supports to teachers and improve student performance; and discussed how state policy can promote these innovative practices for all California teachers and students.
